Can we get rid of these stupid damn ads that pop to the top of the list

What a pain in the *** when you try to click on a thread and the whole thing is jumping around because some lame ad sets itself to the top all the time.
Do any moderators work here or is this allowed???

FYI- I dont get paid to mod here. Not an excuse or a reason just a fact.

Not a pop-up, just a thread that keeps appearing at the top of the list (Nitto Tires). Not an issue with a laptop but quite annoying with a tablet...as I'm about to "touch" a thread, they may all shift down by one line when the ad appears and I end up opening the wrong one. Nothing against ads but annoying customers is not a good way to attract them.

I was just kidding. I know you don't get paid. Not sure what ads the OP is referring to

. I never see them either

I agree, it's obviously a tactic to result in erroneously clicking an ad instead of the topmost thread. It's ridiculous and annoying. I have no issue with banner ads, of course, just the "fake" thread ad that pops up in a delayed fashion.
